HOUGHTON LAKE – On Sunday, Jan. 30 at approximately 10:16 a.m., troopers from the Michigan State Police (MSP) Houghton Lake Post were dispatched to a residence on Crooked Oak Court in Markey Township for a report of a domestic assault and discharge of a handgun.
The suspect, a 52-year-old Roscommon man, was contacted by phone after the alleged victim fled the house. The suspect refused to cooperate and said he was not going back to prison while alluding to the threat of a gun fight.
The MSP 7th District Emergency Support Team (EST) was activated and assessed the situation. Shortly after their arrival, the suspect fled the home riding a snowmobile. He was arrested approximately one mile away after his snowmobile broke down.
The suspect was carrying a .40 caliber cartridge in his pocket. A search warrant was executed on the home, which led to the seizure of two semi-automatic handguns, ammunition, and bullets the suspect shot into the floor and ceiling during the assault.
The suspect was lodged in the Roscommon County Jail on preliminary charges of Domestic Violence, Felonious Assault, and Felon in Possession of Firearms and Ammunition.
Troopers were assisted at the scene by the Roscommon County Sheriff’s Office and Gerrish Township Police Department.
Armed Roscommon man barricaded himself in house; flees on snowmobile and captured after machine breaks down
